  AP Tests  
 
AP courses are not only another ruler by which college administration officers measure applicants, but they can also save you time and money.  The majority of colleges accept AP scores of 4 or 5 for college credit.  Depending on the college and your major, you may never have to take those classes again.

If your high school offers AP courses and you are capable of handling more, then just take more. In comparison to that of regular courses, the content of AP courses is broader and deeper. AP courses are very challenging courses. Some of our students jump into AP courses without taking the regular courses and still perform excellently. However, some students lose confidence in themselves after not doing well in AP courses. Deciding whether or not to take AP courses and how many you should take depends on each student's situation.

Doing well in the class helps you build a solid foundation, but if you would like to do well on the AP test, then you need to become familiar with test itself and make more preparations.

Each AP test is divided into two sections: multiple choice questions and free response essays. The timing is different on each AP test. You need to know the format of the test, become familiar with it, and train yourself according to the format.
